It is good not also for dealing with others, but it is also good for self-reflection. What makes me angry? Why do I get angry? Why do I get angry at a crazy driver? Because I feel threatened by the person's driving. Because I feel threatened by a person getting away with bad behavior. Why do I get angry about being cut off? Because I am impatient. Why do I get angry when I am misunderstood? Perhaps because I feel insecure? Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My anger issues were with people not with God, not Christians, not their faith and not how they lived their life. I too prayed and begged and cried and prayed and begged to God for help and I know he has helped me a lot. He has not done for me what he did for you and totally clean house. Although I am putting forth a good effort it may not be enough somehow.I hope I get there; for now I guess he left one thing in me which I do work on and pray on daily. And i had several anger issues all are under control but one I know of which is people being dishonest i hate that aspect of people. and I did not stop on my own I received help I believe from God even if no one else believes he helped me with out a total transformation in one day or one week like others. I just made a comment on the op about one of the things that caused me a lot of trouble in life which was not mentioned. It was living most of my life and everything was black or white never gray. I apologize if it seems I am defending anger or its actions I'm not. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, you are confessing your personal struggles. Which is good. We all need to evaluate ourselves before evaluating others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the best either because I keep muling it over and like the proverbial cud I can't let go. Well, eventually I do forget, but the hurt may stay for a bit.
